    THE PINNING STONES Culture and community in Aberdeenshire When traditional rubble stone masonry walls were originally constructed it was common practice to use a variety of small stones, called pinnings, to make the larger stones secure in the wall. This gave rubble walls distinctively varied appearances across the country depend- ing upon what local practices and materials were used.

  • Durris Primary School Parent Council
    FRIENDS OF DURRIS and CROSSROADS NURSERY Minutes of Meeting held via Google Meet on 2nd July 2020 Present: Lynne Giles, Sarah Stewart, Elaine Ingram, Dawn Rippiner, Catriona Woodburn, Bridget Rhodes, Claire Stutter, Aynsley Watson, Tara Ewart Apologies: David Groundwater Actions 1. After School Club Due to a number of potential new pupil enquiries who are also asking about after school care this is a matter for the Friends of Durris and Crossroads Nursery to take forward. At present our school roll is 45 and encouraging new pupils assists with our school roll. Survey issued to parents regarding need for after school care and initial results show a strong demand for both breakfast and after school care. Results after survey being out for 1 day show range between 6 – 12 children for after school care and between 5 – 6 for breakfast club. DR has been liaising with Jenny Currie of Drumoak Parent Council regarding the matter. Drumoak had an after school club which was provided by Great Western but this service has been stopped by Great Western and therefore Drumoak are looking at alternatives. They are eager to combine with Durris and Crathes to ensure there are sufficient numbers to make a club viable. They have looked at 4 options as follows:- 1) Aberdeenshire Flexible Child Care – private provider who may be interested and next step is a survey across the parents of Drumoak, Durris and Crathes. EI EI to liaise with Jenny to pull together surveys. 2) Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action Group. They have grants available to assist with initial set up costs should a parent led system be followed.

  • Mapping the Community Sector in the Aberdeen Region
    Mapping the community sector in the Aberdeen region Joshua Msika and Dr Katherine N Irvine Social, Economic & Geographical Sciences Group, The James Hutton Institute January 2016 1 Introduction and Key Findings In 2014, 65 community groups across the City of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire (the Aberdeen region) in Scotland were surveyed as part of the EU funded TESS project1. This report provides a synthesis of that unique dataset. Insights will be relevant for those who are designing or administering funding and support programmes for community-based initiatives, particularly those with an environmental focus. Key points: 1. The Aberdeen region is host to a diverse population of community-based initiatives active in the energy, transport, food, and waste domains. 2. A policy focus on “communities of place” appears to match expectations on the ground. The initiatives studied identify strongly with their place and tend to have a small-scale, “local” focus of activities. 3. Despite growing interest in social enterprise and other hybrid business models, the community sector relies largely on public funds and relatively few groups have any self-generated income. 4. Although community-based initiatives are built on volunteerism, the community sector is a small but not insignificant employer in the Aberdeen region. 5. Community-based initiatives are not “new” or “emerging”; the majority of the groups in our sample have more than a decade’s experience carrying out their work. 2 Dataset This report draws on a survey of 65 community-based initiatives engaged in environmentally relevant activities in the Aberdeen region (city and shire) in Scotland. The initiatives were selected using a combination of convenience and snowball sampling methods (see Appendix 1).

    ABERDEENSHIRE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FINALISED RESPONSE TO PROPOSED PLAN CONSULTATION KINCARDINE AND MEARNS – ABERDEEN HOUSING MARKET AREA Issue 84 Settlement - Park Section 6 The Proposals Map, (p23) Reporter: Schedule 1, Table 6, (p28) Development plan Volume 3H Supplementary Guidance, Settlement reference: Statements (p36-37) Body or person(s) submitting a representation raising the issue (including reference number): 39 Mr Angus Donaldson 933 Crathes, Drumoak & Durris Community Council 1018, 1028, 2060 Strutt & Parker LLP on behalf of Faskally Investments 1883, 1884 Ryden LLP on behalf of Stewart Milne Homes Provision of the development plan to Housing Land Allocation at Park – H1. which the issue relates: Planning Authority’s summary of the representation(s): Site H1 Support for H1 933: Support the allocation of H1 as it is consistent with organic growth. 1018, 1028, 2060: Support the allocation of H1 for 6 houses. Objection to H1 39, 1883, 1884: Object to the allocation of H1. The respondents suggest that the settlement is reliant on Drumoak for services, in particular the school, and as such development should be relocated to Drumoak. Character 39, 1883, 1884: Site H1 would result in disjointed ribbon development which would harm the settlement and character of Park. The site would impact on views from the A93. Over-Development 39: Site H1 would unsympathetically extend a small, compact historically significant rural service centre with clearly defined boundaries. The site is wholly disproportionate to the size and setting of Park. Six houses would increase the settlement by approximately 50%. Affordable Housing 39: The small site is unlikely to attract providers of affordable housing, which could result in commuted financial contributions being sought.
